Pruning classification rules with instance reduction methods (2015)
Journal Article
Othman, O., & Bryant, C. (2015). Pruning classification rules with instance reduction methods. International journal of machine learning and computing (Online), 5(3), 187-191. https://doi.org/10.7763/IJMLC.2015.V5.505

Generating classification rules from data often leads to large sets of rules that need to be pruned. A new pre-pruning technique for rule induction is presented which applies instance reduction before rule induction. Training three rule classifiers o...

Microbial contamination of Capsicum annuum irrigated with recycled domestic wastewater treated by vertical-flow wetlands (2015)
Journal Article

Due to water scarcity in many arid countries, there is considerable interest in recycling various wastewater streams such as treated urban wastewater for irrigation in the agricultural sector. The aim was therefore to assess if domestic wastewater tr... Read More about Microbial contamination of Capsicum annuum irrigated with recycled domestic wastewater treated by vertical-flow wetlands.

The impact of the diameter to height ratio on the compressibility parameters of saturated fine-grained soils (2015)
Journal Article
Rosine Larissa, T., & Toma-Sabbagh, T. (2015). The impact of the diameter to height ratio on the compressibility parameters of saturated fine-grained soils. International journal of research in engineering and technology, 4(6), 8-19

Compressibility parameters of fine-grained soils are mainly influenced by soil mineralogy, moisture content and soil diameter to height ratio (D/H). The British and American standards suggested that to obtain accurate engineering properties; it is ne...
